St. Francis of Assisi is attributed to the following quote: A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.
Seldom do I share here about the shadows and curveballs life throws my way. I don't guess I'll ever take my catcher's mitt off until the day I take my last breath. However, over the past two days, some pitches were thrown my way and not only does my palm still sting from catching them, my heart hurts.
My baby girl, 23 years old, has been diagnosed with cancer and is to undergo an hysterectomy within the next 1 -2 weeks, as soon as it can be scheduled. Personally, after receiving the diagnosis of cancer almost 2 years ago, I found it a little easier to deal with when it concerned me.
Yet this is my child and although deep down I know that she is being cared for by the most miraculous force of Love in this universe, I guess the shock of learning all of this is still a little too fresh to replace the sadness my heart feels right now with light.
I am requesting that you take a moment and shine your Love light on my daughter and our family, and if you pray, keep us in your thoughts when communing with the God of your understanding.
Her name is Jaime.
Je vous aime my darling Jaime, and let us not forget the more we practice becoming quiet and listening to God, the longer we are consciously connected to the purity of our soul.
With the help of our friends here and in our face to face lives, our mind's open to the stream of light that God is constantly pouring forth. From this ever-flowing energy, we receive our answers and are directed to our rightful place.
Thank You, God, for the light your shine on us through the beautiful spirits of this family.
Gratefully ~
Sammy

Sammy,
I'm so sorry. She'll be in my thoughts and prayers as will you.
I'm not very good with knowing the right things to say at times like this. So I'll simply leave it at that accept to add that I love you and wish your daughter well.
Take care, God bless

Let God be God of the Future
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
Jeremiah 29:11
God has a plan and a purpose for each of us and a specific way and perfect time to bring it to pass.
Much of our frustration and misery comes from either not believing that fact, or believing it but being determined to do things our own way and in our own time, determined to exalt our own will and timing above God's.
According to Isaiah 55:8, God's thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our ways. We want what feels good right now, but God has something far greater in mind.
We are constantly trying to figure out something we do not understand or trying to make something happen now that is not happening yet. It seems as if we are always trying, but believers are supposed to believe!
"Why, God, why?" and "When, God, when?" can be two statements that keep us frustrated and prevent us from enjoying peace. Many times we do not understand what God is doing. But that is what trust is all about. Let God be God in your life. Give Him the reins. He knows what He is doing.
Do This:
Trust yourself and everything to God Who judges fairly and deals righteously. Deposit yourself in His hands and watch what He can do!

Sammy,
What a beautiful way you have of phrasing things. Yes, I know the hurt you are feeling. My own baby (38) was close to suicide last year adn has been in serious pain for years. It's SO hard to stand by and be unable to "fix" it. Love helps a load, though. You're both n my thoughts and prayers. (((Hugs))))

We'll all get through this (another bump in the road) together and how blessed we are to have each other.
Namaste' to all ~
